Stuffed Mushrooms with Hemp Seeds

Stuffed Mushrooms with Hemp Seeds

The theme for Recipe Redux this month is to cook with a new
ingredient that you've been wanting to try. I was at my local Costco and came across hemp seeds.

I decided they would be a good, healthy
filling for stuffed mushrooms. This recipe below makes a great tasting,
healthy appetizer. There are only 38 calories per stuffed mushroom. You can eat
several and not feel guilty.

Stuffed
Mushrooms With Hemp Seeds

Ingredients:

1
10-oz package baby Portobello mushrooms (about 12 small mushrooms)

1
Tbsp butter

3
Tbsp finely chopped onion

1
clove garlic, peeled and minced

1/4
cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled

1
Tbsp balsamic vinegar

3
Tbsp raw shelled hemp seeds (such as Hemp Hearts)

1
Tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1
Tbsp fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Carefully remove stems from
mushrooms. Place mushroom caps in single layer in baking dish that has been
sprayed with non-stick spray. Finely chop the mushroom stems. Melt butter in
large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, onions,
and garlic and cook for 4 minutes, or until onions are soft. Add feta cheese
and vinegar, stirring until well blended. Remove from heat. Stir in hemp seeds,
thyme and basil. Carefully spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps. Bake for
20 minutes. Serve hot.

Makes 12 stuffed mushrooms.

Note: White button mushrooms can also be used
in place of Portobello mushrooms, if desired.
